Perry Ridge Landfill is the burial-style landfill just off Sacred Heart Road in Du Quoin, used by local residents and commercial haulers alike. It’s the kind of place trucks and pickup loads use when they need the final disposal option rather than a transfer station closer to town.

There’s a scale for weighing loads, so expect to stop in twice - once in and once out - since tipping fees are typically charged by weight at facilities like this. The site is set up for larger vehicles, with room to maneuver trailers and dump beds; visual cues are a simple entrance booth and a cleared tipping face where loads are buried. It looks like a working landfill - dirt ramps, staged cover material, and rolling compacted piles - and weekends or spring cleanups can get a line of vehicles leading back toward the road.

Before You Go

  • Drive a little slower on Sacred Heart Road approaching the entrance; heavy trucks are turning in and visibility can be limited.
  • Have an approximate idea of load size before hitting the scale since tipping fees are weight-based - it helps avoid surprises at the exit weigh station.
  • Secure loose rubbish before hauling; wind can scatter loose loads and the site is exposed, so tarps and tied-down items save time and trouble.
